This game is for you to play against a friend. You'll need two
dice. You can play on the interactive version below, or you could
print off a paper version in
colour or
black and white . If you
play on paper, you'll need a counter to be the spider too.
Decide who is the sunshine and who is the rain - sunshine moves the
spider up the drain pipe and rain moves the spider down.
Start by playing with one dice.
Take it in turns to throw the dice
and move the spider that number of spaces up (if you are sunshine)
or down (if you are rain).
If the spider gets right to the top of the pipe, sunshine wins. If
it gets to the bottom, rain wins.
Next, try a more interesting version of the game. This time, use
two dice. When it is your turn to throw, you can decide which dice
number to use. In this game, you must land exactly on the end of
the drain pipe to win.
Perhaps you can make up your own version of the game? Please send
in your ideas and other people can try them out.
